What is tauri-plugin-holochain and does it work?

tauri-plugin-holochain is a plugin that developers use to build cross-platform peer-to-peer apps with Holochain inside the Tauri framework, and it was last pushed to on 2026-07-16 with no tagged release. That follows from the GitHub repository, its README and the project census read on 2026-09-13.

tauri-plugin-holochain is a plugin from darksoil-studio, the team behind P2P Shipyard, for building cross-platform peer-to-peer apps with Holochain inside the Tauri desktop and mobile framework. It is source-available software: its source code is public, and the makers are raising funds to release it as open source. It is a developer tool, not an app you install.

The project is built against Holochain HDK 0.6.1 and HDI 0.7.1 in its Cargo.lock. The GitHub repository was last pushed to on 2026-07-16, and the census found no tagged release, so there is no published release version to point to. Two people have contributed to the repository.

Developers add tauri-plugin-holochain as a dependency of a Tauri app and depend on a release branch: main for the latest stable Holochain, main-0.3 for 0.3.x, or main-0.4 for 0.4.x. The census lists mobile and standalone desktop as its runtimes.
